Homemade Ginger Ale Syrup with Xagave

I found this recipe scribbled on the back of an old birthday card that I had tucked into one of my recipe books. Not sure where I found it, but you can be certain I googled it a while back with every intention of making it someday.

The title is a little misleading because mine didn’t actually make a ‘syrup’, it was more of a cordial. This is probably because I used Xagave instead of sugar.

The ingredients are simple:

2 cups of peeled and chopped ginger root

Peel of two lemons (I used a veggie peeler to minimize the amount of pith)
